The new Gates climate memo isn't a pivot; it's a continuation of "a consistent pattern of downplaying clean energy while promoting dubious and potentially dangerous technofixes in which he is often personally invested," @michaelemann.bsky.social argues in @thebulletin.org:
thebulletin.org
You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

#TheEconomicsofKindness We can end capitalism by embracing cultural values of cooperation and kindness, and expressing them in the economy through the use of democracy.

guydauncey.bsky.social @guydauncey.bsky.social · 25/10/2025
#TheEconomicsofKindness One of the core ideas is that capitalism is not an economic system: it is a cultural system, based on values of selfishness and greed, which are expressed in the economy through the use of capital.
